Unfortunately, sometimes legitimate workers’ compensation claims are denied. Your claim can be rejected for a variety of reasons by your employer and their insurance company, or by the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission.

Although a denial or rejection is disheartening, it’s no reason to give up hope. It’s absolutely possible to succeed with a claim after it’s been denied initially. Here are some steps you can take.

You might know that if you’re injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to damages under South Carolina law, including, but not limited to, compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. But those are just a few of the possible types of compensation that may be recoverable. Below describes some of the types of compensation you may be entitled to under certain circumstances.

Hopefully, you know what to do if you are ever in a car accident: seek medical attention if needed; if your car is safe to drive and is causing a hazard where it is, pull it to the side of the road; call the police; and exchange insurance information with the other driver(s). It is also smart to take photos or videos of the damage and to make notes for yourself of what happened so you do not forget the details later. Now that you know what you should do after a wreck, here are some things you should not do.

The people involved in a recent 3-car crash in Spartanburg were lucky to make it out alive; multi-vehicle crashes, in which more than two vehicles are involved, are much less common than one- and two-car crashes but have a higher fatality rate. In fact, according to the NHTSA, 40% of motor vehicle fatalities occur in multi-vehicle crashes.

There are various kinds of accidents on the road, including car accidents, hit-and-runs, pedestrian accidents, and bicycle-car accidents. All can be devastating, but undoubtedly some of the most destructive involve trucks or tractor-trailers (a.k.a., big rigs, semis, or 18-wheelers).
